REUTERS/Amir Cohen/File PhotoREHOVOT, Israel, July 17 - Every year, egg farmers kill 7 billion day-old male chicks because they cannot grow up to lay eggs and are the wrong breed for meat. A laboratory in Israel has a solution: what if the male eggs don't hatch? Day-old male chicks are normally "either macerated or suffocated or electrified. In some countries they do not even bother to cull their males properly,” explained Cinnamon, principal investigator at Israel’s Volcani Institute, which works to attain food security and food safety. The unhatched male eggs can be used for other purposes such as animal feed.

☆ Why did some birds survive when dinosaurs went extinct? Molting feathers could hold a clue

Fossilized feathers of an extinct bird show it molted differently than modern birds. The prehistoric bird lost its feathers all at once, while many modern birds molt in waves. There doesn't seem to be a singular reason why modern birds' ancestors survived and the others went extinct, O'Connor said in a statement. But it was also born with a full set of flying feathers, a trait found in certain types of modern precocial birds. O'Connor thinks developing a better understanding of molting and how it evolved could have important implications for modern birds.

The planned closure of the plant has left dozens of Virginia chicken growers scrambling to find new buyers in a region with few other options. Tyson alerted Virginia farmers by phone on March 13 and later by mail that it will shut its Glen Allen plant on May 12, according to three poultry farmers who supply the plant. The USDA, which enforces the PSA, told Reuters it is "closely monitoring" Tyson's planned plant closure. 'WE'RE DONE'Under normal circumstances, Tyson supplies farmers with chicks, while farmers assume the costs of land and chicken houses. On Monday, about 20 Tyson farmers and local government officials gathered in a fire station in Burkeville, Virginia, and raised concerns about Tyson's short timeline for closure of the plant, attendees said.

Lookups for the word on merriam-webster.com increased 1,740% in 2022 over the year before. “It was a word looked up frequently every single day of the year,” he said. The death of Angela Lansbury in October drove some interest in lookups of the word, Sokolowski said. “Gaslighting,” Sokolowski said, spent all of 2022 in the top 50 words looked up on merriam-webster.com to earn top dog word of the year status.

Laura Hayward started her Wall Street career at Morgan Stanley during the financial crisis. Hayward, who rose ranks at Bank of America, shares what she learned to be both successful and happy on Wall Street. "I'd always been a finance person at work and a spiritual person and hippie outside of work," Hayward told Insider. After seven years at BofA, and more than a decade on Wall Street, she left this summer. Wall Street work life is stereotypically perceived as draconian — leaving little room for individuality.
